We bring you the last day of a great Air France award sale, the new United Explorer 65k offer, the new Uber Rewards program, the locations of the National Park webcams, laugh with the Botox Index, China Southern leaves SkyTeam, a captivating hyperlapse video through Paris, watch in amazement another video about the Moon, one of the most EPIC Twitter threads EVER, look at happy dogs, look at countries going to the dogs, it has started snowing way too early, enjoy the weekend, see you Sunday!

The travel hacking hobby has pretty much deteriorated down to the point of having so many poser “experts” tricking newbies and selling them travel rewards credit cards. There is not much quality news out there to report so we only have commercial blogs and wanna be Titan bloggers that just keep pounding the newbies. I mean, when this blog evolves to its next phase eventually it will do a parody post each week making fun of these plastic salesmen. Just like the good old days 😉

Anyway, not much worthy of my blog mission to report…

The United Explorer Mileage card is great. I think if you are going to have a pure airline card and usually fly United this is a card to get and keep. And now it has a 65k miles sign bonus. First 40k come after $2k of spend and the other 25k comes after another $8k of spend (within 6 months). Yes, it is available with my links, please click away (joking, %$#@@ 5/24). Read this post at DansDeals to see why this card is great.

Probably one of the best Twitter thread storms ever! MUST CLICK! It starts with “IN THIS TIME OF RAMPANT ASSHOLERY IN THIS ERA OF FLAGRANT DIPSHITTERY IN THIS UNHOLY EPOCH OF UNBRIDLED, UNMITIGATED, RECALCITRANTFUCKERY…” and it just goes off. TBB is my art baby! Support artists 🙂

Greece is phucked all right. But what then can you call all the former Eastern Bloc countries huh? #wowIf you have plenty of Citi ThankYou Rewards points, there is a 25% bonus to Avianca Lifemiles. Until December 12, 2018.

Have you noticed how the minimum spends on travel rewards credit cards keep going higher and higher?

I am NOT looking forward to the bombardment of Black Friday shopping deals. But if you are into it please click away to start your shopping with my Amazon link, THANK YOU!

Well, I’m for one am concerned about AA new flash reduced mile offers. I see it as a path to revenue driven award redemption, which will suck big time. I think only thing that can reset this trend that Delta began is if next recession arrives before it’s too late.

The next recession may kill one of the big 3 and you’re left with one or two.
Previous financial troubles eliminated NW, CO and USair(/AA). More competition is needed. Unlike Delta, AS doesn’t have much influence.

I’m busy on our tour of Germany. Europeans I’ve spoken seem to have begun to transfer negative thoughts on Trump to negative thoughts on USA.

Help me out here. What should I say when they ask:

“Why do you let crazy people have guns? They’re killing people! Is this what you think should be happening?”

I’ll wait for Ramsey to turn his spell checker on.

Meanwhile, yes the points and mike game is heading for revenue based rewards, specifically between 1-1.5 cents per point. Which is why all my non-bonus spend had been on a 3% cash back card for almost a year. I may soon pass up bonus spending since availability is so overall lousy. Even the Titans seem to have lost that fire for all this (but not those links).
